  • Epsilon has a solid foundation for hardcore tactical gamers, featuring elements like planning maps and squad commands that evoke nostalgia for classic tactical shooters.
  • The development team is actively engaging with the community, implementing feedback quickly and showing commitment to improving the game despite its early state.
  • The game runs surprisingly well on lower-end systems and has decent graphics, making it accessible for a wider audience.
  • The game is currently in a very unfinished state, with many bugs, basic gameplay mechanics, and AI issues that detract from the overall experience.
  • There are concerns about the game's future, as development appears to be stalled, leading to fears that it may not be completed or improved significantly.
  • Many players feel misled by the developers due to past failures with previous titles, leading to a lack of trust in the current project.
  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is seen as a potential area for growth, with some players expressing interest in its evolution, although many do not prioritize it in their gameplay experience. While the narrative is appreciated, it is not a central focus for most players, who are more engaged with the tactical mechanics and gameplay elements reminiscent of classic Tom Clancy titles. Overall, the story is considered a nice addition, but not essential to the enjoyment of the game.

    • “Epsilon features a few of the game mechanics that made the old Tom Clancy games great such as being able to pre-plan your mission, the fiber optic camera to scout underneath doors, and the ability to open doors incrementally to provide much more cover when scouting a room for enemies.”
    • “The game feels tactical and intense, and I like that the enemies do surrender and can be secured.”
    • “Story isn't something I expect to get from this game; I really wouldn't care if it is there or not.”
    • “I think that the story element that they want to evolve is going to be really interesting and is something that a lot of games don't really tackle.”
    • “I feel like I've already spent my fair share of time with the 1 mission, 7 weapons, 2 game modes and I can safely say this is already a solid foundation for the future of what hardcore tactical gamers want and you should be keeping an eye on it!”

    The gameplay of Epsilon is described as a bare-bones prototype of a first-person shooter, featuring basic mechanics and plagued by bugs and poor sound quality. While it incorporates some enjoyable elements reminiscent of classic Tom Clancy games, such as mission pre-planning and stealth mechanics, players feel that significant polishing and content development are needed to enhance the overall experience. Many recommend waiting for improvements before purchasing, as the potential for engaging gameplay exists if the core mechanics are refined.

    • “Epsilon features a few of the game mechanics that made the old Tom Clancy games great, such as being able to pre-plan your mission (Rainbow Six 3), the fiber optic camera to scout underneath doors (Splinter Cell and eventually Rainbow Six), and the ability to open doors incrementally to provide much more cover when scouting a room for enemies and making entry kills (Rainbow Six 3).”
    • “The sniper and the planning phase mechanics are really fun!”
    • “This game has preplanning stages, stealth mechanics, breaches, and other SWAT/tactical unit style of play.”
    • “A very bare-bones prototype of a first-person shooter, with decent graphics, but with extremely basic gameplay, bugs, and awful sound.”
    • “Epsilon for what it is worth at the moment is not bad, but you may want to hold off buying the game until some of the bugs and gameplay features are ironed out.”
    • “In short, this could be a game with a lot of playtime value if the mechanics are cleaned up as soon as possible.”
